The New Normal: Post-COVID Mandy Goharnia

In this comic, I'm looking into the changes in the educational system

because of the COVID pandemic and how they affect the children. The

main focus of educational systems, all over the world is supposed to

be the students. This book explains how so extremely our focus has

been shifted away from the children and specifically their socioemotional

development. Our focus has become fighting a virus and

to serve this purpose we are neglecting our commitment to our

student's mental and emotional well-being. To show my concerns I

made two pages for each point. First one describes our values and

priorities before the pandemic and the second one shows how our

focus has changed during the pandemic.

Our students, children of all ages and backgrounds, are the ones

who lead the future.

I am just concerned about where this changes are leading us.
